An integral part of Greek tradition, linked with Greek culture, fish taverns are not simply a restaurant, they are a journey of feelings and emotions. Familiar, laidback atmosphere, great food, pleasant company, and cheerful mood come together and create a simple and at the same time unique experience.

Athens is surrounded by sea and offers us a great variety of seafood that in the hands of the masters of cooking turns into a delectable delight. From Piraeus to the centre and the south suburbs, Athens has a large number of fish taverns that are regular haunts for the locals. Our list includes 10 of the best fish taverns in town – with traditional as well as “with a twist” dishes, quality, fresh ingredients, great service, neat spaces, and pleasant vibes that all stand out and offer unforgettable experiences.

To Iperokeanion
In the heart of Piraeus, the legendary Iperokeanion opened 12 years ago. Andreas Kantsos, the owner – a long-time captain, with origins from Kimolos –, knows the sea. The interior is simple but warm, with some tables, many paintings of steamships, and a lovely little corner with a food display and a scale that looks like an old grocery store.
